My daughter spotted this beauty on the road during our walk near dusk. Not sure what kind it is... just didn't want to get too close - it hopped when it moved !!!

So thankful for a good zoom !!!!

Great shot! I may be wrong, but I think it is a Wolf Spider. At least that is what I have heard them called around here.

That's totally cool. I didn't know spider's eyes could reflect like that. It looks massive... like tarantula size.
